Packaging

Waste Packaging Product Overview

NAC Philotechnics’ founders helped shape today’s waste packaging industry, pioneering the development, testing, and certification of innovative containers and flexible packaging systems. In the 1990s, they introduced the DOT-certified IP-1 intermodal waste container, built under an NQA-1 quality program for compliant shipment by rail, truck, and marine transport.

We continue to innovate with large-capacity intermodal containers—available with or without lead shielding—and scalable systems that can incorporate flexible packaging. The result: packaging solutions that adapt to your waste streams and keep environmental restoration projects moving.

From one-off shipments to long-duration cleanups, we help you match the right container or package to your material, handling requirements, and transportation plan. Explore the container and packaging systems available for sale or lease below.

Consulting Services

The right packaging strategy does more than check a compliance box—it can streamline operations, improve safety, and lower total project cost.

Our consultants bring decades of real-world experience designing packaging that performs in demanding field conditions. We partner with you to define project constraints early, then align packaging selections and transportation modes to your waste streams and schedule.

Our approach is proven. On a major decommissioning project, we helped transform how waste was packaged and transported for final disposition. By deploying specialty IP-1 certified intermodal containers, the industry moved from small metal boxes to reusable containers up to 500% larger—reducing handling, lowering costs, and improving safety and ALARA benefits.

Services include:

• Waste characterization review and consultation to select the right packaging option and transportation methods for your project.
• Strategic planning to engineer the most cost-effective packaging and transport options into your project or process design—rather than adding them later as an afterthought.
• Container and packaging design and supply for custom shapes, shielding requirements, or specialized design features.
• Sourcing and supply of required packaging and containers, including:

• Metal containers
• Intermodal containers
• Cargo containers
• Flexible packaging
